Speak Up Press Release - 0 views

  • The 2007 online survey collected authentic, unfiltered views and ideas from over 367,000 education stakeholders representing schools in all 50 states, bringing the total of survey participants to over 1.2 million over the past 5 years.
  • This disconnect is evident in the fact that 66% of school administrators, 47% of teachers, and 43% of parents say "local schools are doing a good job preparing students for the jobs and careers of the future," but over 40% of middle and high school students stated that teachers limit their use of technology in schools. Forty-five percent of middle and high school students indicated that tools meant to protect them, such as firewalls and filters are inhibiting their learning.
  • "It is in our nation's best interest that we support and facilitate student usage of technology for learning."

  • 46% said they would like to receive specific professional development on how to effectively integrate gaming technologies into curriculum.
  • With the release of Speak Up 2007 results, Evans called upon education leaders at all levels to put aside their own "digital immigrant" paradigms and to listen to students who are not only on the cutting edge of technology innovation but whose future is dependent upon our ability to deliver upon the promise of a world quality, global 21st century education.

    It's certainly a challenge to engage today's students. Learning theory shows that one of the keys to successful learning is engagement. Using Philip Schlechty's "Qualities the Affect Engagement" as a framework, Tony Vincent outlines 21 technology tools, strategies, and tips educators can use to increase authentic engagement. Learn ways to motivate learners using online tools that are freely available. Examples include polling students, illustrating concepts with crazy cartoons, creating jazzy slide shows, and touring some of the newest coolest sites the web has to offer.

Steve Barkley Ponders Out Loud: COACHING AND LEADERSHIP - 0 views

  • Coaches’ leadership skills that communicate trust building will increase teacher vulnerability and therefore teacher growth.
  • Quality coaches integrate the agendas of teachers, principals, and central office staff to bring the best learning opportunities to the students.
  • One of the key leadership skills of coaches is to identify the common vision of student achievement that drives the work of all stakeholders.

  • There is insufficient time in a coach’s schedule for enough one-on-one coaching of staff to bring about the desired growth. Effective coaches create partnerships, teams, and professional learning communities that provide coaching to each other in the coach’s absence.

  • But the word reform is particularly slippery and tendentious.
  • The clarity of language be damned: They come to bury a given institution rather than to improve it, but they describe their mission as “reform.”
  • It’s a very clever gambit, you have to admit. Either you’re in favor of privatization or else you are inexplicably satisfied with mediocrity.
  • there’s plenty of room for dissatisfaction with the current state of our schools. An awful lot is wrong with them: the way conformity is valued over curiosity and enforced with rewards and punishments, the way children are compelled to compete against one another, the way curriculum so often privileges skills over meaning, the way students are prevented from designing their own learning, the way instruction and assessment are increasingly standardized, the way different avenues of study are rarely integrated, the way educators are systematically deskilled .
  • To that extent, even if privatization worked exactly the way it was supposed to, we shouldn’t expect any of the defects I’ve just listed to be corrected.
  • Making schools resemble businesses often results in a kind of pedagogy that’s not merely conservative but reactionary, turning back the clock on the few changes that have managed to infiltrate and improve classrooms.
  • ut an attack on schooling as we know it is generally grounded in politics rather than pedagogy, and is most energetically advanced by those who despise not just public schools but all public institutions.

    "This is a virtual place for folks interested in learning to "operationalize TPACK" (Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge) via curriculum-based learning activity types ('ATs') to get up-to-date information, and (more importantly) participate in the vetting and refining of the activity types in each of the curriculum areas in which activity type development is happening. The curricula in which we are developing and refining learning activity type taxonomies appear on the left. Those that have taxonomies available for your perusal and feedback have links to other pages in this wiki. Links to online surveys to use to provide feedback are included on live curriculum area pages."

TeachPaperless: Make Active Patience a Habit of Life - 5 views

  • teachers who consider themselves savvy in this digital age become frustrated with those who would rather not change their habits of teaching.This frustration is understandable, but it is nonetheless unhealthy.
  • A operator within the realm of social media who has not internalized it as a habit of life will be as successful at understanding social media as an illiterate is at understanding a newspaper.
  • he majority of teachers and admins opposed to social tech integration are those for whom social media itself has not become a habit of life. It is not that they are inherently 'against' whatever it is that social media suggests; if anything, they have so little understanding of it in the first place that 'engagement' is moot.

A Fistful of Challenges for Ed Tech -- THE Journal - 4 views

  • In the fourth slot was nothing short of the "fundamental structure of the K-12 education establishment," specifically, as the authors described it, "resistance to any profound change in practice."
    • anonymous
       
      Whoa! What do you think of this?
    • Aly Kenee
       
      I think it's spot on. The big change our administration is pushing for is a new lunch schedule. Although it would be better for our students, he has met resistance...from the cafeteria manager, who claims it will cost more in labor for her.
    • Vicki Treadway
       
      We always deal with this - we are one of the top high schools in the state so, why mess with excellence?
  • The authors said that as long as the thrust of education support is on maintaining the existing system's "basic elements," meaningful change will face resistance.
  • The lack of congruence between what students are learning outside of school and what they're being taught in the classroom is causing a disconnect in educational practices.

  • The existence of a wealth of online tools and communications tools is allowing teachers to "to revisit our roles as educators."
    • anonymous
       
      Can't argue with this, but the question is DO they revisit their roles?
    • Vicki Treadway
       
      Good question, Jim. I get frustrated with teachers that seem to just teach day in and day out but don't explore what is changing in their content area or in the world of their students. Teachers don't have to jump on every bandwagon that comes along but they should be aware of possibilites and be carefully choosing where they are going to focus their time and teaching methods.

      This is great - as long as the bandwidth is there.
  • "The digital divide, once seen as a factor of wealth, is now seen as a factor of education
  • Digital literacy will also play an increasing role in career advancement, according to the report.
  • The ways we design learning experiences must reflect the growing importance of innovation and creativity as professional skills."
    • anonymous
       
      I like how this is phrased, too
  • Innovation is valued at the highest levels of business and must be embraced in schools if students are to succeed beyond their formal education
    • Aly Kenee
       
      I hear fairly frequently from students who resist technology. They have been brought up to copy notes from the teacher and spit info back, so meaningful tech integration means more work for them. I think we need to stress with them that their future may be enhanced if they have this knowledge.
  • "It has become clear that one-size-fits-all teaching methods are neither effective nor acceptable for today’s diverse students," according to the report. "Technology can and should support individual choices about access to materials and expertise, amount and type of educational content, and methods of teaching."

Will the Real Digital Native Please Stand Up? -- Campus Technology - 1 views

  • "It is how they perceive [the web] that makes them different in my opinion," he explains. "Many older people use the web, of course, but for digital natives the web is an integral part of their lives. They go there first, instinctively. And yes, some are better at it than others. I definitely agree that there is a continuum of capabilities among the digital natives. But if we are talking about what makes them different from previous generations, I believe it is this connection to the web."
    • anonymous
       
      If the difference is in whether or not they go to the web 'instinctively' then I think this guy just disproved his own point. MOST of us to to the web instinctively.'
  • She says this group of learners is more globally aware, thanks to the internet, and more adept at collaborative uses of the web.

      And this definition has NOTHING to do with age.
  • "This generation definitely has a thematic approach to learning," she says, "which is not about, 'I'm a vessel--go ahead and fill me up.' It's about, 'I'm the master of my own educational destiny. Give me lots of input and I'll find what I think is most important.' Most of the [K-12] schools I talk to still believe that they are the custodians of knowledge. But for these kids, increasingly, [schools] are just one more source of input."
    • anonymous
       
      I LOVE this discussion. What do you think?
    • Michelle Krill
       
      I think this is true. The educator has to teach the students how to know which information is important and how to make connections between what they know and what they are learning.

  • While Prensky's original definition might not survive close scrutiny a decade later--too generationally focused and without enough attention on how students use their devices--he was definitely on to something.
